In the summer and May of the seventh year of Xingping, Pingcheng fell, and the guard general Guo Yuan led the remnants of the army to fight desperately out of the city, and disappeared. Zhao Yun and Lu Bu broke the Pingcheng, so they left a part to defend the Pingcheng, and then raised the army to drive straight into the city and take the Mayi.

I have to say that Liu Bei sent Lu Bu to Bingzhou to help Zhao Yun, which is really wonderful. As soon as Pingcheng was broken, Lu Bu then sent Zhang Liao out to sweep the counties. Zhang Liao led the army south and put his name on it, but as a result, Juyang, Fanqi and other counties, seeing that it was Zhang Liao, surrendered without a fight.

All the way south, when he was about to reach the Yin Pavilion, Zhang Liao said: "General Zhao, if you want to take the Yin Pavilion, it is better to attack Ma Yi first, if Ma Yi is owned by our army, the Yin Pavilion can be fought in a battle." ”

Zhao Yun listened, and then looked at Lu Bu. Lu Bu said: "Wen Yuan's words are very reasonable. ”

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Just according to Wenyuan's words." ”

Mayi, also known as Shuozhou in later generations. The general of the Qin period, Meng Tian, chased the Xiongnu in the north, and built a city here to raise horses to prepare for Hu, so it was called Mayi. This is the place where nomadic civilization and agricultural civilization collide, the Han family in the pre-Qin period fought with the Hu people in bloody battles, and the plot of Ma Yi born during the period of Emperor Xiaowu of Han Shizong opened the curtain of the Han Dynasty's northern expedition against the Xiongnu. Famous generals Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Li Guang and others have galloped here, and Wang Zhaojun, who is known as the falling goose, has also come out of the jam. The city was prospered by war, and it was destroyed by war. Since the Xiongnu were torn apart by the Han family and left in the desert, there has been no war here for more than 100 years, and because it is far away from the border, the importance in the hearts of the court has dropped again and again, and there is no longer the grand occasion of the year.

However, after all, it is a famous military fortress, and although it is gradually declining, the top governors of the past dynasties still take good care of it. Especially Gao Gan, after coming to defend the state, he focused on repairing the two cities and one fortress in Yanmen, in order to prevent Gongsun Zan of Youzhou and the Hu people in the north of Bingzhou. Two of these cities are Pingcheng and Mayi. It can be seen that Ma Yi is important in the heart of Gao Gan.

Zhao Yun and Lu Bu marched south together and surrounded Mayi. The two generals went out of battle to observe the situation in the city. I saw the city of Mayi, the circumference is only five miles, and it is rammed with loess, and the bottom is even rarely surrounded by a layer of stones. On the city walls, flags were waved and swords and guns flashed.

The defenders were heavily guarded, and from afar they looked murderous.

Zhao Yun and Lu Bu rode around in a circle, and there was a guard on the city wall, who also walked around with them. Zhao Yun nodded secretly and said to Lu Bu: "Brother Fengxian, the morale of the Mayi defenders is high, and it seems that it is another hard battle. ”

Zhao Yun originally thought that the power of breaking the city could shake the heart of the Ma Yi army, but now it seems that he has thought too much. Looking at the city today, where does the defenders of Mayi have the appearance of shaking their military spirit? It's completely ready to do whatever it takes.

Zhao Yun is in the middle of the mountain and can't see the mountain. There is a Han generation, and the sons of the three states of You, He, and Liang are the least afraid of death. is used to fighting, so he treats life and death as commonplace. Therefore, these three places have always been places where elite soldiers and brave generals are produced. Life and death are taken as usual, let alone victory or defeat. Don't say that you Zhao Yun has broken through Pingcheng, that is, there is only one Mayi City left in Yanmen, but I am afraid that the knife handle of Bingzhou Erlang will not be easily loosened, and I will fight it first.

Lu Bu listened to Zhao Yun's words, laughed, and said, "With Wenyuan here, why fight hard?" ”

Zhao Yun was saved, and under Lu Bu, there was also a native of Mayi, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan. Along the way, he easily took several counties, but it was all due to Zhang Liao. After seeing the majesty of the Zhang family in Yanmen, Zhao Yun was relieved in his heart, and said with a smile: "Wen Yuan alone is enough to defeat thousands of troops, and we can sit back and relax in this battle." ”

Zhang Liao followed behind Lu Bu, bowed slightly, and said, "General Zhao is too famous, and the last general is just stained with the light of the family." And the name of my family is only good in Yanmen County. But it is far inferior to my general's Wei Zhen and the state. ”

These words made Lu Bu smile with joy on his face, and at the same time, it also made the other generals under Lu Bu's command feel a lot better. Everyone used to be a robe brother who cooked rice in a pot, but now you Zhang Liao has not only been promoted to become the deputy general of the first army, but also in the battle of Yanmen, he has been majestic and has made many meritorious deeds, it is impossible to say that other people such as Cheng Lian , Wei Xu and others are not envious and jealous. Fortunately, Zhang Liao is low-key, and the relationship is well maintained on weekdays. If he listened to Zhao Yun's words and cocked his tail slightly, after this envy and jealousy, he would have to add another word of hatred.

When Zhao Yun heard this, he took a look at Zhang Liao, and said in his heart that Zhang Wenyuan was brave and knew how to advance and retreat, but he was a rare talent under Lu Fengxian. It is no wonder that the lord promoted him to a deputy general, and he will inevitably have a bright future in the future.

The Zhang family of Mayi was after Nie Yi, a wealthy merchant in Mayi hundreds of years ago. How big is Nie Yi's business? He was able to make a statement to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty through Wang Hui, one of the Nine Qings (that is, the later Great Honglu), to change the national policy; He could also ride into the Xiongnu on a single horse to meet the military minister Shan Yu, and lure him to invade Mayi. Such a person has no shortage of connections and guts. It's a pity that Ma Yi's plot failed, otherwise in the middle of the ambush, the Han army won a great victory, and Nie Yi must have been indispensable for the title of a marquis.

Affected by the failure of Ma Yi's scheme, Nie Yi offended the Huns, and he also made a disgrace on the side of the court, so Wang Hui even committed suicide. It's not pleasing to both sides. Therefore, Nie Yi asked his descendants to change his surname to avoid resentment. After hundreds of years of ups and downs, although the Zhang family no longer has the grand occasion when Nie Yi was alive, it is also a tree with deep roots and lush branches in Yanmen. The border land is different from the Central Plains, and the people here are chivalrous and martial arts, and the people are fierce. And the Zhang family, unlike those world-famous scholars, has not put down the knife handle at all and transformed into a pure gentry. They held a knife in one hand, a sutra in the other, and even the Confucian scriptures they read had a bloody taste. It can be said that such a family, as long as the ruthlessness in the bones is still there, will not decay anywhere. So it is not surprising that children like Zhang Liao can be cultivated now.

In this battle, there is no doubt that Zhang Liao was the vanguard and began to take the lead. The flag was unfurled, and the drums and horns sounded, Zhang Fei was neatly draped, flew to the city, and shouted to the city: "Zhang Liao is here, who is the guard in the city, please come out to talk!" ”

There was a commotion at the head of the city, and then one of the generals flashed out. It's none other than the trick.

In the official history, he and Tian Yu are called together, and they can govern the border. Chen Shou said that he was righteous and heroic, and his achievements were remarkable,...... Finally, the county guarded it, and it was not used to its fullest.

Why did you get here? After Gao Gan left, he was ordered by Yuan Shang to lead the defense of the state. When he opened the map, Si Li and Liangzhou didn't care, and the warlords in those places were too busy to take care of themselves. Lu Bu, who was entrenched in Shangdang before, has defected to Qingzhou, and it can be said that Shangdang County has gone to the end of the trouble, since this is the case, there is only one enemy to guard against in the state, that is, the enemy in the north. Whether it is Liu Bei from the north or the southern Xiongnu, Yanmen is a must-pass place for them. Therefore, Yuan Shang was made clear by the move, and he personally went north to inspect the defense of Taiyuan and Yanmen counties.

As soon as he left, he received a report that Pingcheng was besieged. The relationship between Yuan Shang and Gao Gan is quite delicate, and Guo Yuan and Zhao are not of the same faction. Guo Yuan is a general under the command of Shi Gaogan, but he is a subordinate of Yuan Shang, the third son of the Yuan family. Therefore, Pingcheng was besieged, and although Yuan Shang asked for help as soon as possible, Yuan Shang sent reinforcements to Pingcheng, but it took a long time to reply to Zhaozhao. By the time he hurriedly led his troops to the junction of Taiyuan and Yanmen counties, the rout in front had already been reported, Pingcheng had fallen, and the remnants of Guo Yuan's troops did not know where to go.

He flashed out and said loudly to Zhang Liao under the city: "General Zhang, the move is here!" ”
